The huge Final Horizon update for Sonic Frontiers arrived on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S late last night, and the big takeaway so far is that it's significantly more difficult than the main game.
Frontiers players have been taking to social media to express just how hard they're finding it, with mixed feedback as to whether it's a good thing or a bad thing - some love the challenge, and others think it's the result of poor development.
On the whole though, there's been quite a lot of positive feedback:
It definitely sounds like it's worth checking out if you're a Sonic Frontiers owner, especially considering this free update contains a new story, new playable characters, new challenges and much more. It's absolutely packed with stuff!
We'll throw more details about it down below, along with a few screenshots.
"The Final Horizon Content Update is Sonic Frontiers’ third free content update, and players can experience new story content, challenges and the ability to play as Amy, Knuckles and Tails.
The additional narrative takes place before the final battle on Ouranos Island, where Sage reconsiders an unlikely scenario amongst her millions of calculations. With the assistance of Sage and Dr. Eggman, Sonic sets this new plan into motion, and accepts the challenge of converting the Cyber Corruption into a vast, previously untapped power source. Meanwhile, Amy, Knuckles, and Tails seek to do their part and begin searching for the Chaos Emeralds on Sonic’s behalf to change their fate."

Did they do any performance and graphical changes?
Doesn't seem like this update will change my mind on this game.
More endless running trough huge, lifeless worlds and jumping through 1000 bumpers, but now with Tails or Knuckles, wow.
Too bad....not everything has to feel like a "souls game"
@BeerIsAwesome Sonic Unleashed...did you really just mentioned possibly the worst Sonic title ever?
@Nintendo4Sonic Well...Sonic is famously popular for its run and jump mindlessly through several levels.... anything different then it wouldn't be Sonic.
@MasterPlayerOne you're right. And I know that minds are different about Sonic Frontiers.
But this game didn't reach me, I bored me out in the 3rd world.
I'm a huge Sonic fan, but I think they didn't get it right with Frontiers. These big worlds are kinda lifeless and these 1000 bumpers and rails don't fit into these worlds, besides the missions are barebones crap.
And than there are these action stages like in the older games. And even these aren't really good. They are clones of older stages with generic backgrounds and maaaan, they are so short.
I think the intentions were good, but the final product is weak. Maybe they get it right with the next game.
Have they updated performance since it was released? I beat it three weeks after release and played once after the birthday update. Just started playing the new update on my series X, and seems so much smoother than last year.
@BeerIsAwesome :
"the Sonic stages are tight, and the werehog stages are ass."
You know what....you are damn right.
